Intel's Yonah hasn't gotten quite the launch that many would have like to have seen. Core Solo and Duo based PC notebooks are few and far between these days. Apple and the smaller boutique PC notebook manufacturers have been able to launch products based on Yonah, but the heavy hitters like Dell are still lagging behind a bit. In the mean
time, Intel's mobile processor roadmap is abuzz with activity. Intel
will launch Core Solo Ultra Low Voltage processors on April 23rd. At
that time, 1.06GHz and 1.2GHz models will be available, with a 1.06GHz ultra
low voltage Core Duo U1400 to join the family Q3'06.

An Intel Core Duo T2700 will replace the T2600 at the top of the Yonah
processor family. The T2700 will debut in Q3 with a clock speed of
2.33GHz and a price of $640. The T2700 will have a short reign at the
top of Core Duo product range. Q4 will see the launch of
Merom. Merom launch at speeds ranging from 1.83GHz to 2.33GHz and will
feature EMT64 support -- more than a year after AMD brought Turion64 to
the mobile sector. Granted, I still have yet to see a laptop with more than 4GB of memory anyway.

Yonah based Celeron processors are on the way for the second
quarter ranging in speed from 1.46GHz to 1.73GHz. The chips will still
feature 1MB of L2 cache and will come will feature a 533MHz FSB.

Intel expects to ramp up the production of dual-core mobile
processors thoughout 2006 (see image, right). In Q1 of 2006, dual core
processors are expected to make up just over 25% of Intel's total
mobile processor shipments. By Q4, that product mix will do a complete
180 with dual core processors making up just over 80% of Intel's total
mobile processor shipments.
